Ann E. "Betty" Sparlow

With a heart full of love and a spirit alive with compassion, Ann Elizabeth Sparlow "Betty" left this earthly realm on October 19, 2025, leaving behind an indelible legacy. Born on December 18, 1944, in Philadelphia, PA, Betty was a beacon of light in the lives of those who were fortunate enough to know her. Her thoughtful nature, infectious laughter, and unwavering faith were the cornerstones of her existence.

A devoted mother, a caring sister, and a loving grandmother, Betty's life was a testament to her deep-rooted love for her family and her faith. She was the gentle tide that carried her family, providing unwavering support and nurturing love. Her career as a Child Care Worker at many different centers spoke volumes of her nurturing spirit. The joy she derived from her work was only surpassed by the happiness she found in the laughter and delight of her beloved grandchildren, her very own pride and joy. Betty's love for the beach was only rivaled by her devotion to her faith. She was a valued member of both Holmesburg Baptist and Lawndale Baptist Churches, where she found solace and strength.

Betty is survived by her loving daughters Elizabeth Daka (Paul), Andrea Lesnick (Frank), and Millie Lockyer (Rob). She will be sadly missed by her dear grandchildren, Bobby, Alex, Becca, Alaina, Nicholas, Josh and her caring brother Robert Kinkley (Mary). She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Edward Sparlow, and her dear parents Robert and Edna Kinkley.
